Born in 1931 in Troy, Ohio to the late Edward Keith and Mary Ellen Beck Butterfield.

She was a wonderful mother to her three children who survive her, Suzanne Kelly (Marty), of Hendersonville, Elaine Nesbitt (Bill) of Knoxville, TN and Steve McClure (Mary Lee) of Grand Rapids, MI; Bobbe is also survived by her five grandchildren, Devon (Katie) of North Liberty, IA., Alex, Andrew, Joe, and Katie all of Grand Rapids, MI; and one great-grandson, Jacob of North Liberty, IA.

Bobbe's family would like to extend their sincere thanks and appreciation to all of her dedicated doctors, nurses, and caretakers at both Pardee Hospital and the Elizabeth House.

As a lifelong animal lover, the family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Bobbe's name to D.E.L.T.A Animal Rescue, Guiding Eyes for the Blind, or the Blue Ridge Humane Society. No local services are planned.
